abstract：:Two cases of aneurysmal malformations of the vein of Galen (AVG) with spontaneous thrombosis are reported. Angiogram and MRI before thrombosis demonstrated AVGs with slow arteriovenous shunts and associated stagnation of contrast in the venous sac secondary to severe outflow restriction. Based on these findings, one p...
